Talk:Geography of the Dominican Republic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was in the Dominican Republic near Puerto Plata from 25th December 2004 until 8th January 2005.

During this period there was exceptionally heavy rainfall especially in the north of the country. Roads, bridges and houses were swept away. According to the local press two thousand people were made homeless.

The weather statistics, however, tell us that December and January are the months with the fourth and third lowest rainfall figures for the country.

Was this heavy rainfall truly exceptional for the season? Are rainfall statistics already available for December 2004 for the Dominican Republic?

[edit] Country Map

A controversy has erupted over the choice of map for this article. The two candidates are shown here, along with any others that other Wikipedians may choose to enter. Feel free to make any comments. The lower map may also appear in the corresponding Geography article for this country. Kelisi 03:07, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
